Try something different

Got the pleasure today of being taken out for lunch by my Gramma. She is always talking about going out for lunch for my birthday for a couple of years now, and it has just never worked out.

We decided to go to Prairie Ink, which is a nice cafe located in the McNally Robinson bookstore. Her and I have been their before, and quite liked their food.

We decided to have something different, so we both ordered the Roasted Vegetable Sandwich. It had eggplant, zucchini, red pepper roasted in a balsamic vinaigrette, then toasted on multigrain foccacia...as a side we both had a garden salad with cranberries, toasted almonds in a light dressing. It was very delicious, and something that I would not normally order. However, trying new things seems like the way to go these days. Guess you never know unless you try! For dessert(of course) we had gingerbread cake with caramalized apples. Gramma was feeling a little guilty for not baking me a cake, so she insisted that we have a slice of cake. Didn't take much to twist my arm.

All in all, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon. There is something about Grammas, they always make you feel special, and #1.
